Gideon update III (or whatever number we're on)

So we had spina bifida clinic a little over a week ago, and it was pretty boring. YAY! That's what I want--boring is really, really good. He's doing great on weight (19.4 lbs), gross and fine motor skills, neurology stuff great. His feet are really responding well to the brace...AND we get to take off the braces during the day starting on August 10th. (It's funny how excited and impatient I am for that. When I didn't know how long we'd have to wear them all the time, it was no big deal, but now I CAN'T WAIT to lose them.) Urology is the only unknown--not bad, just we have a test scheduled for mid-August and we won't know if he's still doing great until then--and if he ever has a fever of just about ANY kind, I'm supposed to take him to the doctor because it might be a kidney infection. Gah. He should start teething here and how am I supposed to know if it is a kidney infection or just teething? Oh, well. At least my doctor is just down the road.

Anyway, just thought I'd update y'all on my adorable, cute, sweet, wonderful baby!
